In November last year, multiple users who claimed to have joined Binance due to Cristiano Ronaldo's promotions suffered losses on their NFTs, accusing Ronaldo of indirectly participating and assisting Binance in the sale of unregistered securities:

Prior to this, global celebrities including MLB player Shohei Ohtani, Mercedes-Benz F1 Racing Team, NBA player Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and comedian Larry David, among others, have faced lawsuits for allegedly promoting the now-defunct exchange FTX.
